Twblvetrees, F.G.S., and W. F. Petterd, C.M.Z.S. The following Notes lay no claim to be an exhaustive description of our familiar '• diabase" or "dolerite" rock, which plays such an important part in the geology and physical configuration of our Island. The present object is rather to place upon record some inferences drawn from the examination of numerous microscopical sections of speci- mens collected or received from all parts of Tasmania. It is by accumulating the results of observations that stepping stones are formed to more complete knowledge. A glance at Mr. R. M. Johnston's geological map of Tasmania, issued by the Lands Office, will show the share this rock takes in the structure of the Island. It occupies the whole upland area of the Central Tiers. On the northern face of the Tiers—the Western Tiers as they are here called—there is a tongue of the rock prolonged northwards past IMount Claude. At their north-west corner it forms or caps mountains, such as Cradle Mountain (the highest in Tas- mania), Barn Bluff, Mount Pelion West. Eldon Blufi: forms a narrow western extension. Mount Sedgwick is a western out-lier ; Mount Dundas another. In that part of the island it is also found at Mount Heemskirk Falls, and on the Magnet Range, two miles north of the Magnet Mine. Mounts Gell and Hugel are also western out-liers.

    MAP To Illustrate Paper on DISCOVERY OF CLACIATION T£ Moore FHfrli 147 DISCOVERY OF GLA.CIATION IN THE VICINITY OF MOUNT TYNDALL, IN TASMANIA. By T. B. Moore, F.R.G.S. (Map.) A most important and extremely interesting discovery of glaciation was made by Mr. E. J. Dunn, F.G.S., of Victoria, in the first week of October, 1892, on the high plateau in the vicinity of Lake Dora, Tasmania. Having been with Mr. Dunn at the time of his discovery, and as it was his intention to write on the subject, I now wish to record in the proceedings of our Royal Society the result of a more extended search made by me on the high peaks and surrounding tableland, and illustrate the most important features of the glacial action on the accompanying sketch map compiled from prismatic compass bearings. The Tyndall Range and Mount Sedgwick have been the principal seats of the prehistoric glaciers ; respectively these mountains are about thirteen (13) and nineteen (19) miles in a direct line from the town of Zeehan, and twenty-two (22) and nineteen (19) miles from the port of Strahan. They rise 1,500ft. to 1,600ft. above an elevated plateau, on which are situated Lake Dora and numerous other lakes and tarns at an altitude of 2,400ft. above the sea level. The plateau is drained on the north by the Anthony River, a tributary of the River Pieman, on the west by the Henty River and its tributaries, and on the east and south by the head branches of the King River.

  • Acquisitions in World Class Mount Read Volcanics Belt Tasmania
    29 January 2017 ACQUISITIONS IN WORLD CLASS MOUNT READ VOLCANICS BELT TASMANIA Highlights: ■ Strategically positioned tenements acquired between world class mines Rosebery (high grade polymetallic, owned by MMG) and Renison Bell Tin Mine (one of the world’s largest and highest grade tin mines, owned 50% by Metals X), and near Mt Lyell Copper Mine. ■ Pre-JORC historical mineralisation estimates for four deposits within the tenements offer a rapid kick start - featuring tin, lead, zinc, copper, silver and nickel. ■ Established access, mining infrastructure, nearby processing facilities and offtake potential within favourable regulatory regime that has supported more than 100 years of mining. ■ The strategic Mt Read Volcanics acquisitions further boost and complement Argent’s position in the Australian base and precious metals space to take advantage of strengthening commodity prices as global growth outperforms most expectations. Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD, Argent, or the Company) is pleased to report strategic acquisitions in the highly productive Mount Read Volcanics belt of Western Tasmania. The Ringville and Queensberry tenements have been granted by the Tasmanian Government to Argent following merit-based assessment processes in which the Company’s proposed exploration plans and capabilities were evaluated in separate competitive bidding environments. About the Ringville tenement position Ringville tenement EL12/2017 is strategically situated between two world class mines – 300 metres west of Mine Lease 28M/1993 containing the Rosebery high grade polymetallic mine owned by MMG Ltd (1208:HK), and immediately to the east of (and partially overlain by) Mine Lease 12M/1995 containing the Renison Bell Tin Mine. The Renison Bell Tin Mine is one of the world’s largest and highest grade tin mines, and is considered to hold more than 85% of Australia’s economic tin resources1.

Introduction he King and Yolande hydropower schemes (comprised of John Butters and Upper and Lower Lake Margaret power stations) provide a highly valued and reliable source of electricity. The total installed capacity of the hydropower schemes is 154.6 MW and the average annual generation is almost 600 gigawatt hours, which is 6.4 per cent of the total hydropower system in Tasmania. Construction of the King and Yolande hydropower schemes has resulted in the creation of Lake Burbury (King scheme) and Lake Margaret (Yolande scheme).
